"The 2003 boys track team is the greatest of all-time because . . . Sandpoint's first state champions in track, never lost a meet. They were arguably the best team ever at state, let alone Sandpoint. The 400 and 800 relays were undefeated, setting two state records and numerous meet records. The throwers were so dominant they swept four of the first five places at state."

"The 2003 boys soccer team is the greatest of all-time because . . . they weren't undefeated in their season, suffering the most unexpected loss at the high school state tournament - but that was their only loss. They scored 89 goals and only allowed four. That team placed six players on college rosters, where Conor Baranski is finishing his senior season at Gonzaga and Halvor Mikkelsen is playing in Norway."

— Peggy Baranski
